JCP&L Continues Vegetation Management Work To Enhance System Reliability

MORRISTOWN, N.J.,
April 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) continues to conduct vegetation management work in communities across its 13 county service area. The work is being done to maintain proper clearances around electrical equipment and help protect against tree-related storm damage. Since January, JCP&L-certified tree experts have trimmed more than 1,300 circuit miles in northern and central
New Jersey.

In April, JCP&L vegetation management work is taking place in the following counties and municipalities.

To help maintain safe and reliable electric service, JCP&L regularly trims or removes trees and conducts vegetation management work along its electric distribution lines on a four year cycle. The company's certified forestry experts inspect vegetation near the lines to ensure trees are pruned in a manner that preserves the health of the tree, while also maintaining a safe distance from electric facilities. In some cases, trees that present a danger or are diseased may also be removed.
